Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

Roque did not participate in the negotiations between France and Madagascar, and focused all his attention on adjustments to southern Africa.

Excluding the countries affiliated with the Southern African Union, the total area of ​​Southern Africa is approximately 6.6 million square kilometers. This is the data obtained by the Department of Homeland Security after precise measurements last month. Roque finally has an accurate understanding of the area of ​​Southern Africa.

In the era before remote sensing satellites, determining the territorial area was almost an impossible task. The Department of Homeland Security mobilized nearly 10,000 people, coupled with the cooperation of the National Guard of each state, and spent nearly 10 million rand to finally arrive at a conclusion.

Roque is very satisfied with Zach's work as it is relatively accurate to the data. During the years when Adelaide and Philippe were in power, the land area of ​​Southern Africa was always an estimate and had never been so accurate.

 6.6 million square kilometers. Under normal circumstances, there should be at least 20 states.

 But now there are only 11 states in southern Africa, which is far from Roque’s requirements.

 All 11 states are very different in area. Rhodesia, the largest, has a total area of ​​1.22 million square kilometers.

 The smallest county, Basutoland, has less than 50,000 square kilometers, which is not as large as the largest county in Rhodesia.

According to Rock's plan, Cape State will allocate part of its area to Basutoland and Swaziland, so that the area of ​​Basutoland and Swaziland will reach about 250,000 square kilometers. At the same time, it will also be divided into

A Kimberley state, where the four states all cover an area of ​​about 250,000 square kilometers, is more in line with the interests of the federal government.

 The Cape State Government is definitely not happy with this plan.

Roque didn’t waste any time and called several governors and state assembly speakers to a meeting at the Palace of Justice to explain their interests in person.

"The specific plan is this. After the split, the capital of Basutoland will be Port Elizabeth, the capital of Swaziland will be Durban Port, the capital of Kimberley State will be Kimberley, and the capital of Cape State will still be Cape.

At the same time, Cape Town will no longer serve as the judicial capital of the federal government, which is also good for Cape State. At least Cape will no longer need to bear the cost of the Judicial Commission." Roque's eyes are fixed on succeeding Stoudemire as Cape Governor.

Robert Nancy.

Robert Nancy stared closely at Stoudemire, who was sitting on Rock's right side.

Xiaosi didn’t look at anyone, his eyes fell on the notebook in front of him, his expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He was already very mature now, and his emotions and anger were indistinguishable.

  Next to Stoudemire is Leed Victor, president of the Kimberley Mining Alliance. His expression is very excited. If Kimberley becomes an independent state, then Leed Victor is very likely to become the first governor of Kimberley State.

"This is just the beginning. Next, Rhodesia will be divided into Southern Rhodesia and Northern Rhodesia, as well as Beira and Nyasa.

Land will also be split into Nyasaland, Edward, and Katang, Dias will be split into Dias and Windhoek, Victoria will be split into Victoria and St. George, and

Elizabeth State, and even Bechuanaland, will be split into Bechuanaland and Okavango-" Roque's move is not to be described as ruthless. In this way, Southern Africa will be split into 20 states, and the federation

The power of the government will be greatly enhanced.

“My Lord——” Robert Nancy was in a state of confusion. He never expected that he would face such a major decision just after taking office.

"What's the problem?" Rock's bottom line has been determined, and the next thing to discuss is whether the area is larger or smaller.

Robert Nancy looks at Stoudemire.

Xiao Si’s expression was calm and there was nothing unusual about it.

Robert Nancy looks at Cape Speaker Chen Yan again.

 Chen Yan was writing and drawing on the notebook in front of him, and seemed not to have heard Roque's question.

“My lord, I have no objection.” Robert Nancy finally chose to give in. It was clear that if he disagreed, he would not even be the governor.

If Robert Nancy disagrees, Leed Victor will jump out and make Robert Nancy look bad even without Roark's words.

Rock, this is an upright conspiracy. If Cape State doesn't agree, it's useless. The Kimberleys, Basutoland, and Swaziland must agree with both hands and feet. If Cape State doesn't agree, then we can use democratic methods.

To solve the problem, the minority must obey the majority. Judging from the appearance of Leed Victor, he is currently focused on how much area the Kimberley State can get. Robert Nancy disagrees and cannot change the overall situation at all.

"Of course, the federal government will also fully consider the interests of Cape State. Within five years from now, the federal government can appropriately reduce or reduce taxes on Cape State to make up for the losses of the Cape State government." Roque gave a stick.

A sweet date, this five-year period is very interesting.

 If nothing unexpected happens, Robert Nancy’s term will be five years.

Of course, if major mistakes occur during his term, Robert Nancy may step down early.

Like the British Empire, as a tributary of the British Empire, Southern Africa has also written "the sanctity of private property" into its constitution, but in fact this is just a gimmick.

 The so-called "private property is sacrosanct and inviolable" is all deceptive, and anyone who believes it is stupid.

British private property is inviolable and is based on the premise that British territory belongs to the private ownership of the British King. Therefore, if the British government needs it, British citizens must cooperate with the government unconditionally.

For example, take land expropriation. As long as the British government needs it, citizens must cooperate unconditionally. The British government will compensate according to market prices, and citizens have no right to refuse.

If it is easy to refuse, the British government has countless ways to deal with you. Do you really think that "private property is sacred and inviolable"?

 In other words, Indians believed in the British pretense that "private property is sacrosanct", so they built a high-speed rail and only completed 0.00064% of the land acquisition task in a whole year.

As mentioned before, India will build a high-speed rail in 2016. It was originally planned to start construction in 2018 and complete it in 2022. However, in 2019, the Indian government only acquired 0.9 hectares of the 1,400 hectares of land needed to build the high-speed rail in India, which translates into about two hectares.

A little over an acre.

 Is it sad?

  Sad——

 Is it pitiful?

 Deserved it!

 Southern Africa is also a Commonwealth country, and its constitution cannot conflict with the British constitution.

 So the most powerful department in southern Africa is not the Ministry of Defense, but the Ministry of Finance.

 More specifically, the most powerful department in Southern Africa is the Inland Revenue Service, referred to as the IRS, under the Ministry of Finance of the federal government.

 “Thank you——” When Robert Nancy said this thank you, only he knew what he felt in his heart.

 It’s actually not that difficult.

The conditions given by Roque are good enough. Do ordinary Cape people care about how big the territory of Cape State is?

Will not!

Ordinary Cape people only care about how much tax they have to pay next year, and if they could pay less, they would be grateful to Robert Nancy.

 As for Stoudemire.

Will Stoudemire oppose the breakup of Rhodesia?

No, according to Roque's plan, even if Lorenzo Marquez is not counted, Rhodesia will be split into three states. This means that the Southern African Congress will have more than a dozen people who are completely loyal to Stoudemire.

As a member of Congress, Stoudemire's reputation will immediately increase, and he may even have the strength to compete with Rock.

 Hence, Siba wanted to split up Rhodesia into several more.

 The most obvious objections to Rock's plan are Cape and Orange.

Now that the Cape has been taken care of, the next thing Rock wants to take care of is Orange.

  In other words, it is Yang Shimozi.

 In southern Africa, Yang Smuts’s status is very special.

Yang Shimozi can be regarded as the only remaining veteran figure of the last century.

Among Yang Smuts's contemporaries, Adelaide and Kitchener have taken a back seat, Louis Botta has passed away, and even Queen Victoria has passed away. Yang Smuts is not yet 55 years old.

.

 For politicians, the age of 55 is the peak stage of combining body and mind.

Roque still attached great importance to Yang Smuts. When Yang Smuts came to Pretoria, he was accompanied by Ade, Kitchener, and Philip.

  It can be said that the pinnacle of stability in southern Africa has emerged.

Roque entertained Young Smuts in the private banquet hall of the Palace of Justice.

After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Roque once again extended an invitation to Yang Shimozi, hoping that Yang Shimozi would serve as the Foreign Minister of Southern Africa.

Francois, the current foreign minister of Southern Africa, was formerly a subordinate of Jan Smuts.

Although Francois worked diligently, his ability and qualifications were actually limited, and there was a huge gap between him and Yang Smuts.

Although Yang Smuts was a famous Boer general during the Second Boer War, in fact Yang Smuts was an Englishman and was educated in the UK. After the Second Boer War, Yang Smuts had

He had experience in serving in the United Kingdom and even represented southern Africa at the Paris Peace Conference. The concept of the Commonwealth was proposed by Yang Smuts.

If you were to find two people who could represent southern Africa now, besides Rock, the other would be Yang Smuts.

 The Governor-General of Southern Africa, Kitchener, had to step aside.

 “How does it feel to be governor?” Roark really didn’t mean to laugh at Young Smoots.

"Too bad, can you ask Bechuanaland Agricultural Company to speed up the development of Orange? Don't say that you have nothing to do with Bechuanaland Agricultural Company. I know that you and Cecil are the bosses of Bechuanaland Agricultural Company.

"Yang Smozi is also very helpless. The more he learns about Orange, the more helpless he becomes.

While Young Smuts was still serving in the UK, the Bechuanaland Agricultural Company established by Rock and Stoudemire acquired at least about 20% of the land in Orange State.

Don’t underestimate this 20%. The land suitable for development in a state is limited. Excluding the mountains, rivers, swamps and public facilities that are not suitable for development, the land that can be moved is only about 20%.

In other words, if Rock and Stoudemire would rather lose money and leave Bechuanaland Agricultural Company’s land undeveloped, then there is nothing Yang Smuts can do.

 Private property is sacred and inviolable.

 Don’t doubt it, the federal government has the right to interpret this sentence.
